transmitter outage

Over-the-air transmission of WBAY and WPNE resumed Saturday evening, but only at about 25 percent of normal power.  But repairs necessary to bring both broadcasters back to normal operation may be delayed at least two weeks, according to the Green Bay Press-Gazette.

After being off the air for nearly six hours today, WBAY is reporting their signal and that of WPNE (Wisconsin Public Television) cannot be restored this afternoon as hoped.  Both broadcasters, which share a tower on Scray's Hill near Green Bay, had gone off the air beginning at 9 AM to diagnose transmitter problems that started to impact their signals last night.  The problem was believed by station officials to be electrical in nature.
